Financial Aid Presentations and Outreach Requests
Financial Aid Presentations
Getting the word out about financial aid is important. The Office of Financial Aid & Scholarships conducts many workshops on campus and in the community on a variety of aid topics throughout the year. The presentations offered vary and change as the aid year progresses so check back here to find new presentations and materials.
We provide presentations to various on and off-campus groups. Our most common audiences include high school students and their families, campus visitors, academic advisors, and campus departments.

To best accommodate your request, please note the following guidelines:
- We are currently only offering virtual / online presentations.

Update on the 2024-2025 Cycle
Our office has diverted the majority of our resources to our FAFSA / CADAA workshops, which are taking place during February and March, 2024. It is unlikely that we will be able to satisfy any requests for additional workshops during those months - or the month of April.
